I agree with that but what i said was we would have more athletes and kids playing R/L in this country than in Australia if there was a lot more money in the sport,superstars for kids to follow and more important full countryTV exposure.At the moment there is no financial incentive in the country for any young kid who wants to play R/L
Whether we like it or not R/L is a minor sport in the UK.Most kids in the UK dont play Rugby at School whether thats League or Union and all the attraction is on Premier League football where as is Australia football is the minor sport and the country is dominated by Australian rules and Rugby league.
Until we get some private equity in to the sport and a governing body thats fit for purpose the sport will stagnate which is a real pity as for me its by far the best spectator sport yet we have Sky who are now paying more money into womens football than R/L.
I want to entertained not bored to death
